I'm betting that some of the wealthiest people in the world agree...time is the most precious resource that any person has. Money, possessions, power...all can be humanly controlled - time cannot.
Time cannot be created, regardless of how many times people use the phrase "make some time". Hey kids, let's make some time tonight - let's see, 2 parts...
Time is the one thing that no one can steal from you (although you may wish you just had the last 2 minutes back). Taking time from a person is regarded as a much higher degree of punishment than financial punishment. Jail is all about taking time away or rather forcing time's passing without an individual's choice.
Time passes quickly. Yes, expected lifespan continues to creep up, and in a very short period of the 21st century, the population profile fattens tremendously at the older end. However, time goes by so quickly, and so much so that we lose sight of how quickly it moves until we get near to the end of our own time. The second hand doesn't stop. Life is short. Carpe Diem.
And with that, I'll end this post and acknowledge it at once.

"When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets."
That's what Nietzsche had to say about the matter and I'll defer to him.
Time is running out before 2008 descends upon us all...doesn't the Scotsman have anything to say about that?
